We check everything from the instrument’s finish and hardware to the action, intonation, neck relief, electronics where applicable, and overall playability, making adjustments where needed to ensure it meets our standards. So whether you’re buying your first instrument or choosing an EastCoast bundle, you can be confident the guitar or bass at the heart of it has been properly checked and is ready to play.Key FeaturesClassic rock look – The two horned body shape might be one of the coolest and most distinct guitar shapes. Best associated with the high-octane playing of AC/DC’s Angus Young, the GS61 is comfy to play standing or sitting and has great access to all of the frets thanks to the set neck – meaning that the neck has been smoothly glued to the body of the guitar.Heavy hitting sound – The ceramic humbuckers in the GS61 sound strong, smooth and punchy. You’ll be able to adapt to just about any type of music, but they really excel with a bit of overdrive to get that hard rock bite. Select between the unique sounds of the two pickups with the selector switch and adjust tone to taste with the volume and tone controls.Incredibly comfortable – The neck and fingerboard shape makes a big difference in how a guitar feels to play. This has a 12-inch radius rosewood fingerboard, which is gentle and forgiving on the hand and fingers, especially combined with the easy fretting medium jumbo frets.SpecificationsBodyBody wood: OkoumeBody shape: GS61Pickguard: Classic ’60s-StyleNeckNeck wood: OkoumeScale length: 24.75″Fingerboard wood: RosewoodFingerboard radius: 12″Fret size: Medium jumboFret markers: TrapezeNumber of frets: 22ElectronicsPickups: ECVH Covered ceramic humbuckersControls: Volume (x2), Tone (x2), 3-Way Pickup Selector SwitchHardwareBridge: Fully adjustable, 6-saddle vintage-style bridge with stop-tailpieceTuners: Enclosed machine headsKnobs: Vintage-Style PlasticHardware Colour: Chrome
